1 – Catch a tram to “The Bay”

Only half an hour from the city is the beach side suburb called Glenelg, home to boutique shops, great pubs and restaurants. Why not have a beer and watch the sun set over the ocean!

2 – Go wine tasting

McLaren Vale, The Adelaide Hills, Coonawarra and of course, The Barossa Valley are only a stone’s throw away from the CBD. It is definitely worth the trip!

3 – Catch a game at Adelaide Oval

South Australian’s love their sport so why not see what all the excitement is all about. The Adelaide Oval is a 5 minute walk from the CBD.

4 – Tempt your taste buds at the Central Market

Right in the centre of the city, the central market is home to one of the most diverse selections of food anywhere. With our vast multi-cultural heritage, there is something for  everyone so why not have a wander through the stalls then treat yourself at the food court.

5 – Get lost in the Botanic Gardens

Surrounding the CBD is vast “belt” of parklands full of trees, lakes, and rivers including the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens. There’s plenty of room to throw out a picnic blanket and relax. Want to know the best part – It’s free!
